Does the Pill Affect Pregnancy Later On? Posted: 12-08-06 05:59am
Does the pill affetc pregnancy in the
future??? I'm getting on the pill but I
surely want kids later on in the future!!!
My doctor told me that it wont be a
problem but i'm still a bit worried! Does
anyone had problems with getting pregnant
after stopping the pill?? Just to let you
know my doctor prescribed me yasmin. I
can live with all the other side effects
that can occur because I prefer the side
effects than getting pregnant right now
but I want to be able to have kids later
on!
Pls I need your help....My mind is full of
questions!!

Fertility returns within weeks of stopping
the pill, and many many women use the pill
before and after their babies.
My mother used the older generation of
pills, and she has 3 children =) me
included.

Fertility is different for everyone. It
may return immediately after stopping the
pill. It may take a year or more to get
back to normal. I stopped the pill 6
months ago, and let me tell you, my body
has been nowhere near normal. I've been
having extremely light periods (requiring
tampons only the first day). I'm not
trying to get pregnant but am charting my
cycles because I am doing fertility
awareness with condoms during my fertile
time. My first several months off birth
control, I had insufficient luteal phases
(they are supposed to average about 14
days long, you need roughly 10 days for an
embryo to implant, but I was having 8 day
luteal phases). Gradually, they have
gone up to 9, 10 days, this month finally
13 days. I think I would not have been
able to become pregnant at all the first
couple of months when I was having those
super-short luteal phases. I know women
too who have gone 6 months to a year
before their periods returned post-pill.
Granted, that may not be your case, but
don't assume fertility returns 100% after
stopping the pill.
